DB2 on AIX - Authenticate against Active Directory

Can anyone point me to an article that explains how to get an instance
of DB2 running on AIX 5.x authenticating against an Active Directory
server.

There is no issue securing AIX itself in this manner, but is this even
possible in the AIX world from a db perspective?

Thanks

1. Download security modules from here:
https://www14.software.ibm.com/webap...swg-dm-db2ldap
2. Read the readme.ldap file
3. Use such IBMLDAPSecurity.ini file assuming that you have:
Domain name: db2.swg.ru.ibm.com
PDC: db2pdc.db2.swg.ru.ibm.com
Some domain user for connection to PDC:
username: db2pdc\db2user
password: password
--- IBMLDAPSecurity.ini start (don't include this line into the file)
---
LDAP_HOST = db2pdc.db2.swg.ru.ibm.com

USER_OBJECTCLASS = user
USER_BASEDN = CN=Users,DC=db2,DC=swg,DC=ru,DC=ibm,DC=com

USERID_ATTRIBUTE = sAMAccountName
AUTHID_ATTRIBUTE = sAMAccountName

GROUP_OBJECTCLASS = group
GROUP_BASEDN = CN=Users,DC=db2,DC=swg,DC=ru,DC=ibm,DC=com
GROUPNAME_ATTRIBUTE = cn

GROUP_LOOKUP_METHOD = USER_ATTRIBUTE
GROUP_LOOKUP_ATTRIBUTE = memberOf
;NESTED_GROUPS = true

SEARCH_DN = CN=db2user,CN=Users,DC=db2,DC=swg,DC=ru,DC=ibm,DC= com
SEARCH_PW = password
--- IBMLDAPSecurity.ini end (don't include this line into the file)
---

Sincerely,
Mark B.
